Xpadorians (eks•pä•dôr′ē•ənz) n. Expats in Ecuador

Morning Update – Friday, October 15, 2010

Bob & Rox – Friends and explorers finally arrive and Coquita greets them with her usual doggy enthusiasm. While Rox tutors English Bob supervises the building of a much stronger sea wall. He tried his best to communicate, perhaps they weren’t listening, but somehow the size of it all got… lost in translation.

Grimms’ Travel Tales – Patty and Mike move to a much larger apartment next to the Rio Yanuncay. It comes with its very own cock-a-doodle alarm clock.

Gringos Abroad – When the young family first moved to Cuenca they knew there would be changes that everyone would have to get used to. Dena worried about her eight year old daughter Drew. She was having a difficult time adjusting because she had no one to talk to. Puppy therapy did the trick.

looloo in Ecuador – Where’s Looloo been lately, must be out of commission. It was more serious than she first thought and required a trip to the hospital to see a specialist. She’s glad that this happened while living in Ecuador. I’m glad to hear that she is feeling much better now.

Metamorphosis – Mick and Kathy attended the Grimms’ birthday party. Now we have a photo of Pat in the traveling birthday hat. The couple takes Nick and heads down to Loja. Kathy posts plenty of pictures of places that they visited along the way. They arrive back in Cuenca in time to attend Thanksgiving dinner with their Canadian friends.

Nancy and Chuck – Nancy and Chuck are somewhere in Nevada. She blames the lousy internet for her reason that she just can’t share. Are you sure that’s it? Or is there something else going on that you must remain incognito?
